Notes About The Poem

For the contest of Charles Messina

________________________________________________________________________

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Wonderful are my memories of
the times I spent with all those I love.
Although not extraordinary, we
still managed to get along for free.

Free were the simple joys in our life.
We got along with such little strife.
Love that we shared was like a buffet
of good food that we enjoyed each day.

Of this is made the best of life’s bliss.

Such a lovely poem, Andrea. But oops line (3) only has 8 syllables. Unless howmanysyllables is wrong (lol) Anyway, thanks for entering my contest and congratulations on your placement! Charlie

I remember that word, too! It sometimes comes in handy. I love "free were the simple joys in our life..." That defines that time so beautifully.
